Do female cats do better with other female cats?
Male (neutered) cats are generally believed to be more accepting of other cats, both male and female. Even though this has not been my experience, female cats may not get along as well with each other. Proper cat to cat introductions will go a long way toward ensuring harmony in your home.
How do I get my female cat used to each other?
Swap out the blankets between cats, so they will get used to each other’s scents. Prop the door open just enough for the cats to see each other. Put one cat in a carrier and place it in a room with the other cat. Confine the old cat in the isolation room and let the new cat explore the house.

Do not allow any fights or one cat to chase the other. Calmly separate the cats when things start to go badly. These short visits need to be kept positive in order for positive feelings to have a chance to develop between the cats.
When do cats from opposite sex get along?
Most of the time when a cat has been surrendered to our shelter because two (spayed/neutered) cats that lived together harmoniously for a year or longer – sometimes 5 or 6 years – decide they no longer can, both are females.
